Imaging in osteomyelitis in the growing skeleton

Der Orthopäde, 1997
In acute osteomyelitis of childhood a rapid diagnosis and initiation of antibiotic therapy is necessary in order to prevent late sequelae. Thus, diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role. If acute osteomyelitis is suspected in a child, imaging starts with conventional radiography in order to exclude other differential diagnoses.

Skeletonization of labeled gray-tone images

Image and Vision Computing, 2005
A gray-tone image including perceptually meaningful elongated regions can be represented by a set of line patterns, the skeleton, consisting of pixels having different gray-values and mostly placed along the central positions of the regions themselves.

Revisiting Skeletons from Natural Images

2015
In the last two decades there have been several works promoting shape fields that implicitly encode local convexity/concavity properties of the shape boundary. These shape fields are formulated either as solutions to Poisson type PDEs or via heuristic approximations to them.

PET Imaging of the Skeleton

2006
The role for PET imaging of the skeleton is evolving. It is possible that 18F-fluoride PET may have incremental value in detecting bone metastases over conventional bone scintigraphy, but this has yet to be established. A role may also exist for quantitative studies using 18F-fluoride PET for research or clinical applications where there is a need to ...

Computing the curve-skeletons of images

International Journal of Computer Mathematics, 2008
In this paper, an automatic algorithm that extracts a curve-skeleton (1-D centreline) from 2-D binary images is described. From the discretized data of the image/object, the potential field is computed resulting in a vector field defined over the entire object.

Research on Skeletonization of Palmprint Image

2007 Third International IEEE Conference on Signal-Image Technologies and Internet-Based System, 2007
Skeletonization is an important procedure of automated palmprint identification system based on the characteristic of minutiae. Skeleton acquired by traditional thinning algorithms will produce many spurious minutiae which are caused by spurs and misconnections between ridges.

Morphological skeletonization for medical image compression

[1992] Proceedings Fifth Annual IEEE Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems, 2003
The authors introduce a lossless data compression technique based on the morphological skeleton representation. Mathematical morphology is a methodology for image analysis which provides a means for describing the geometrical structure of an image quantitatively.

Skeleton-based morphing between sketching images

2010 3rd International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, 2010
Image morphing techniques is to produce continuous evolution between two images. It has practical application in scientific visualization and animation in films and advertising industries. Most traditional methods require users to prescribe correspondence with pairs of features between source and target images manually. However, if they have no similar

Distance-based skeletonization of 3D images

Proceedings of Digital Processing Applications (TENCON '96), 2002
A new algorithm for determining the skeleton of a 3D binary image is presented. A topological approach is taken in which the exterior points of the image are sequentially deleted while preserving the image's topology. The order in which exterior points are processed is important, as different orderings produce different skeletons.
